ReRushed Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I heard She don't know Me i was like. Metal Band my ass. that's AOR, lol. great song though. Mick THEN WHY ARE SO SO DOWN ON THOSE EARLY RECORDS, HHHHMMMMMM? Just kidding. They are a product of their time. And also great albums with way more flavour than people give them credit for. I don't know why some are so down on Bon Jovi but pro-Cheap Trick or Aerosmith. To me they are all simplistic good time rock n roll!Cheap Trick and Aerosmith have different roots than Bon Jovi. What they have in common with Bon Jovi is the 1980s commercialism road they followed. Where's the hairspray?!?! I prefer Bon Jovi to both bands tbh. And putting a bands music down because of their image is something vapid pop fans do.Oh, you know I equally put down Bon Jovi's tendency to be as musically unimaginative as possible. They are a veritable blueprint of lyrical and musical cliches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a straightforward pop rock band with no false pretences and a desire to be the best that they can be. Considering some of the crap you listen too I find it amazing you have room to talk like this about one of my favourite bands.

When hair metal faded away they grasped for the U2 and Springsteen crowd. They are as calculated for commercial success as any band ever to exist! Totally genuine in following any fad for acceptance.

Bon Jovi adore Springsteen and had elements of his sound right from the start. U2 aren't all that. Bon Jovi's nineties albums sound nothing like the fads of the day.

If you're being serious, Bon Jovi has sold a ton more albums and has remained very popular for most of their 30 plus years. Sure, Rush is a popular band but they are not pop like Bon Jovi is. Doesn't Jon own an arena league football team? He's also done some acting, currently is part of a commercial campaign for direcTV. All of that brings in money.

Segue Myles Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Fast food is Awesome. I'm buying a big mac today. Mick Exactly. Music doesn't have to be all about high art and boundary pushing. I can settle for just plain old fun times and thats why I love Bon Jovi, Toto and yes, even at times Rush (who have some terrible lyrics). If I want serious music I have Springsteen, Thrice or Miles Davis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they are as talented as Rush? I don't. That's not to say that they aren't talented, but ... Yes, he does own a football team. In fact, if you watch the documentary I posted in this thread, he will tell you not once, but many times, how he is the CEO of Jon Bovi Enterprises.
